In Eerie Replay Of 2011, Gold Spikes Abruptly To Over $1770, Silver Follows
Day after day, the long overdue correction of gold to fair value which as we have discussed previously, is now at about $2000 based on the recent multi-trillion Central Bank balance sheet expansion, keeps getting delayed, providing cheap entry points to all real money adherents. And then we get moments like the past 10 minutes, when gold goes on the same kinds of buying sprees that we remember best from the summer of 2011. With no news at all, in a span of minutes, both gold and silver have soared, with gold touching on $1772, and now about $150 away from its all time highs. The return of gold now is 13% YTD, compared to the far lower 8.4% return for the general market. Why the move? A big buyer obviously. But besides that, why the hell not - when one considers that the last time gold was over $1900, total central bank assets were $2 trillion less, it is a miracle gold is not far, far higher. The catalyst this time according to some is the "sudden realization" that in one week the ECB's balance sheet is about to increase by at least 20% courtesy of the latest and greatest LTRO. According to others, it is "more buyers than sellers." Both are right. As a reminder: we have warned repeatedly that the massive balance sheet expansion is spilling over out from equities and into everything else, including gas and now, gold. We pointed out that the biggest trade off of a soaring market could well be the one thing that derails Obama's presidential campaign. Now the only other thing that could stop central bankers from their CTRL+P frenzy - the surge in real money - is starting, and unlike 2011, it is starting quite early this time around. As we said over the weekend: inflation is a-coming back.

Gold will be at 1800 by the beginning of next week. I won't tell you how I know this because you gonna bust my balls again.
My gold and silver still look the same as when I bought them at $300 an ounce and $5 an ounce. They weigh the same. They shine the same. They are hated by central bankers and Wall Street the same.
if CBs hate gold so much, why do they hold so many tons of it?
...tradition
Traditionally leased out.....good luck getting it back.
went outside to feed the chickens and gold was trading down about 2 bucks ... came in 5 minutes later and it was up $10. nice to know that I'm not the only one that noticed.
trading up about $22 bucks now to $1780, and it looks like it is still moving going into the 2:30 commodities close ... and of course the bozos on CNBC haven't mentioned a single thing about it (too busy talking about Lumber Liquidators and Cheesecake Factory ... what the ...).
what the fuck? (finished it for you)
Why junk trav for asking a rhetorical question that made The Bernank look like a fool when asked the same by Ron Paul?
BEN BERNANKE stars in 'THE GOLD TRADITION' - YouTubeTradition.
I lold @ this
i'm seein yen and GBP devaluation potential as well could be driving this. Meanwhile the BRL is goin up up
Not sure why anyone would junk this comment. Yuan strength/dollar and euro flat/GBP and Yen weakness threw a wrench in the PM market. It's an FX trade reversal, and when trades reverse, people change their methods. Today and yesterdays methods was buying gold.
Wish the Dutch(my country) would have kept
our gold.We had 1900 tons at 1991,now
we only have about 800 tons left;sold
1100 tons at ridiculous low prices.Same goes
for England and the Swiss.
And who do you think bought all that cheap stuff?
trav777 "if CBs hate gold so much, why do they hold so many tons of it?"
Do you mean the huge amounts of gold bullion that has been rehypothecated over and over 200 plus times. Drop in the bucket bitch for what they have to cover their shorts with!
Because its such a barbaric relic that they like to keep it around to remind them of the time when people were just roving barbarians hunting woooly mammoths.
Thank you for noticing that I am a Barbarian. I like it!
Real money bitchez. It's what's in my wallet!

Cb's don't hate gold, they hate people other than them owning it
Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
CBs are in the tough position of trying to accumulate as much gold as they can, while at the same time making the population think that accumulating gold is stupid and something to be hated. They're trying to do that without looking stupid, and that's hard to do.
Probably the same reason you own silver while trashing it at every opportunity.
I don't trash silver, it's an inanimate object. I trash YOU and idiots like you for shamelessly pumping an industrial metal and trying to stampede gullible lemmings into becoming bagholding dupes.
Those "bagholding dupes" who are all in the money?
lol
you do know that we were all here during the bubble runup and we ALL saw you breathlessly cheerlead silver like a NAR economist, right?
You can't pretend away the truth, cliff. It really WAS you who said "$60 by next week," "hyperinflation IMMINENT," and "$49 by the end of this week," all while silver totally cratered and got a lot of people's life's savings totally blowtorched.
All those people are "in the money," eh? Just like "housing is a can't miss investment that never goes down." I'm going to start calling you Cliff mosely-Yun-Lareah-claven. You have more names than a fuckin south american
You can make up shit all you want, but the fact is that people who followed my advice have made money.
Repeat that lie enough, and maybe people will beleive you, wanna-be Hitler.
Also, so nice of you to lay out your lies for me. The first quote is out of the context of even the sentance, which said "At this rate, silver will be $60 by next week", which is quite clearly an observation, not a fucking prediction.
Hyperinflation IS imminent, you idiot. Are you seriously saying we aren't going to have any?
And how exactly is the FACT that people who cost averaged are LITERALLY AT WORST down less than $2 from their cost average anything like"housingis a can't miss investment that never goes down"? I have said repeatedly, and BEFORE that rise that we were going to go into a period of extreme volatility with a trend toward ZERO as the exchange falls apart, which is EXACTLY what has happened with the MF Global fiasco.
But you still have a personality disorder, so you will never recognize anything that goes against whatever is already in your little head.
Now, now, Mr Mostly -
you just invoked Godwin's Law; "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"
And the rest of your argument is completely ignored after the ref. to Herr Fuckface.
You know who I mean ...
No, I didn't. Godwin's Law does not apply when talking about people who espouse eugenics, like Trav.
Trav tried to claim that before while in the same breath talking about extermination of 97% of the world's population and how we must all give up our freedoms to survive.
Hyperinflation IS imminent, you idiot.
THIS is a FACT........................................this is why you should not give a whale turd where you buy PM's in fiat.
The only way you will survive is with phys ownership in this event.
And we trash you for not recognizing that Silver has been money since the dawn of civilization. It has only become an industrial metal in recent history. But you put industry usage first and not money.
I'll bet you personally will be using silver as money within the next 2 years. Or you'll be the last ass at the gas station trying to use fiat when gas is 3 billion per gallon.
It's a medical metal now.
Trav, when silver finally breaks free from JPM and the other cartel criminals you will look like the biggest douchebag to ever post here at ZH.
Please get your head out of your ass. It's pathetic.
oh it's really gonna take silver to "break free" from JPM's evil clutches for that? Where have you been for like since I signed up for ZH?
Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.
now, now, bitches...smoke some weed and chill out! it's one of them good days for us PM owners (myself excluded, of course, because i swear to your god i don't own any).
Now that's good advice, I don't care who you are.
Your arguments hold no water when it comes to silver.
Now go get your fucking shinebox...
Hmm, two years, six weeks. Silver was $18.60, and I was telling people to buy it, via cost averaging.
And you still had a family and a job, lol.
yeah and a few months ago you were telling people to BUYBUYBUY and then it crashed.
And you were still a loser.
lol, weak.
Industrial metal? Since when 1963? Oh but we have evolved as a human race and no longer need to follow basic principle right?
If a majority of people migrated to gold for wealth preservation, it would seriously hamper their business model of stealth theft and control. They hold it because they know their game is rigged and some day, as has happened in the past many times, there will be a return to real money.
So, they do hate it, but they also know it's value.
The "hate" is PR, to keep real people from buying and running up the price. The "love" is Rothschild in the vault, caressing his gold.
They hold tons of paper Gold, not physical Gold.
Maybe they just want you to think they hate it so you won't buy any.
Maybe it shines only on the outside? Are you sure you didn't buy it from Fed?
Mid,
Reagrding the 'they are hated'...
I think deep down inside they love it - Gold & Silver - but hate for US good folks to know about it.
Whoever owns Gold - rules the world.
Its not old - its ancient.
Does anyone need that bit of info to bust your balls?
platinum is mass murdering it
pumper
bag holders
etc
no, I told you idiots to put on a convergence pair trade over a month ago...anybody who listened is getting free money
I told people to buy physical silver every month. Anybody who listened is getting free money, INCLUDING those who started buying at the absolute top.
But you have a personality disorder, so you don't care to examine yourself through the same lens you use to examine others.
the people who bought using your hysterical predictions of "$60 by next week" have LOST money, idiot. They are not getting free money.
Or do you mean if they held they are on the long road toward maybe reclaiming some of their lost capital as silver crawls back up?
The difference between your and my predictions is if you act on mine, you don't get blowtorched. You make money. Then if you want, you can actually go buy silver with it or some other industrial metal.
Sure, they all took the "advice" I "gave" one time while I was telling them that the paper price was going to go to zero over and over and over.
Sure, they ALL bought RIGHT AT THE TOP with their ENTIRE LIFE SAVINGS based on that one comment, rather than paying attention to my incessantly repeated calls to cost average over a long period of time.
And what long road? Those who buy the same amount each month like I tell them to are already in the money,m even if they started buying on the Kuala Lampur market just before UBL's death was announced.
The difference between your predictions and mine is you don't make any. You come back and tell people that you have been telling them to do one thing or another, when you haven't.
You are a coward, a cheat, a pathological liar, and a megalomaniac. You treat EVERYONE like shit, and wonder why your personal and professional lives are in shambles.
Get a clue.
stop projecting, Cliff.
I have a gold rolex day-date that had a busted mainspring for a while. I don't recall crowing over how fucking ACCURATE it was merely because it was dead on balls right TWICE per day (which is like 1000000x your rate).
You are bleating about great predictions when every single one you ever make besides the stuck "buy silver ALL THE TIME" clock one falls flat on its face nearly immediately after your making it.
You are the ultimate FADE indicator, claven.
And I most certainly do NOT treat everyone like shit...just worthless people like you.
As for my personal and professional lives, I will bet you money, even silver, that all of the following statements are correct:
I make more money than you
My dick is bigger than yours
I bang more chicks than you
Hell I probably have more fuckin silver than you do too, how do you like DEM APPLES, BITCH?
Alrighty boys, whip em out and lets have a good ol' fashion "who's got a bigger dick" measuring contest.
No cheating with the penis pump again Trav.
Sorry, "buy silver all the time" has fucking worked, idiot.
Anyone who cost averaged into a short position has lost everything.
You are delusional. See a fucking therapist. Maybe when you get on anti-psychotics the judge will let you see your kids.
I'm going to get rich inventing a device that allows trav and tmos to punch each other over the internet.
$35 pay-per-view, bitchez.
I'd rather punch someone like Bernanke or Geithner, but I wouldn't mind cold-cocking a Hitler-wannabe.
um mean a hitler-wannabe that licks the bankers balls for a living
hey if you wanna fight, I'll kick your ass at that too...anytime you're feelin chesty there sparky
lol, you sure are dumb.
I was messing around with a browser plugin that would emote fight club sorts of things at the end of a post.
<jab>
A bargain at twice the price.
I told people to buy physical silver every month. Anybody who listened is getting free money ...
No, they're not getting free money.
Silver, the real money (acccording to the constitution), is rising in value compared to fancy green pieces of paper, which are NOT money.
Natural money has intrinsic value universally recognized by everyone. Ok, everyone except central bankers ...and their government suckups ...their "partners in crime" you might say.
"Natural" is the key word. Something people naturally view as having intrinsic value, without being compelled by law.
Granted, a population can grow accustomed to thinking fancy green pieces of paper are money ...especially when law says they MUST be accepted for payment if tendered.
But no, I refuse to view fancy green pieces of paper as natural money. Legally mandaded money yes. Natural money no.
I was using his terminology. From your perspective, they are still getting free money, since they are trading scraps of paper for real money.
LOL, so now Cliff is the arbiter of what "real" money is. So, IOW, cliff, I can't go down to the gas station and buy real gas with my FRNs?
Because EVERYONE is delusional except you, right? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Uh, I said "from YOUR perspective", referring to COG.
Pay attention. Your delusions are interfering with your ability to read simple sentences.
Hey, Paul Krugman, welfare statist that you are (and enemy of productive people everywhere), if you're reading ZH today (while masturbating to your collection of Rentenmarks), here's a little truth for you:
Alan Greenspan

John Maynard Keynes on inflation
The Economic Consequences of the Peace

Krugman & The Bernank have replied by saying that not only can one not "eat gold," one can't even buy a 99 cent taco made of 40% sawdust with a one ounce gold eagle (so there!):
Trying to buy a 99¢ taco with 1 ounce gold coin - YouTubeif that guy wants to repeat the exercise, I will take a fuckin job at taco bell for a day.
oz Eagles are legal tender at $50 at any rate; all of the eagle fracs are as well for different denominations.
I'm sure it would be a step up for you.
Too bad you aren't willing to work around minorities.
Race realists are always right.
When what they say is real. When it isn't, as with Travvy-boy here, they are wrong.
For example, his much cited race-IQ correlation falls out when childhood disease is controlled for: http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/277/1701/3801.full
fails in the USA, idiot. Everything you say is pretty much wrong...yet you just keep pluggin. One day, cliff, one day.
The paper was about the Flynn effect.
r is higher for average skin darkness than for parasites. It is also as high for cold weather.
You really OUGHT to read papers before getting blowtorched by what's in them. Feel free to ask if you need help understanding science.
What, you are saying poor blacks have the same rate of childhood disease as middle class whites? That is an undergraduate level mistake, and only makes it that far because no high-schooler would be stupid enough to comment on it.
You clearly didn't bother reading the paper where that skin color correlation came from. It excluded huge swaths of the world, including America.
Why is it that every SINGLE time you are confronted by someone disagreeing with specific things you say that you put up a fucking STRAWMAN?
Are you incapable of responding on topic?
I wasn't saying ANYTHING of the kind. Of course poor blacks have higher rates of disease, they come from less intelligent genetic stock and disease correlates with lack of intelligence. The evil whiteys mostly eradicated these types of diseases long ago; that is what intelligent people do.
Next you will talk about the r of starvation or lack of multistory buildings with IQ and I will AGAIN go "no shit, sherlock."
Staying on topic? Like you, sidestepping my questions and countering with aggressive use of insults, false charges of fallacies, and ad hominem?
Your irrational behavior is getting worse and worse.
you fucking idiot, i ANSWERED your questions. I made DIRECT rebuttals of the shit you said.
GFD you are a stupid shit. That is NOT ad hominem, it is a fact.
Geez Man!
OK...those are Taco Bell workers...nuff said.
I for one am glad that the public school system has taught her nothing more than to punch those buttons, and only accept those FRN's. Keeps my asset purchases cheap.
All of the PM "corrections" are manufactured. As long as the money printing continues unabated, there should never be any selloffs. But thanks anyway banksters as I loved picking up some more on sale.
1776 bitchez!!! Gimme back my freedom!!!!
i wish i had picked up some more on sale...sigh.
God damn, I wish my family wasn't a bunch of poor bastards.
Either way, this can't be good for oil (although awesome for irony. If you are hearing crickets, that's the sound of Nouriel seething at the thought of being wrong).
DEE GOLD BAWGS!!!!!11111
Uhhh, inflation never left, numbers are being manipulated by the gubmint. Peanut butter is up 40%, oh wait, food isn't part of core price inflation index, is it? Silly me.
